The commonest way in which plants avoid self-fertilisation is by self-incompatibility, a physiological barrier making it difficult or impossible for a flower to fertilise itself eventhough it may be abundantly pollinated with its own pollen. Self-incompatibility involves the ability of a plant to discriminate between its own pollen grains and those of another plant and only allow pollen from a different plant to grow and fertilise the ovules. 2, record 3, English, - self%2Dincompatibility

L'auto-incompatibilité (l'incompatibilité entre le pollen et le stigmate d'un même individu) est un exemple d'incompatibilité intraspécifique. Elle empêche la fécondation entre deux gamètes génétiquement identiques, augmentant ainsi la probabilité de nouvelles combinaisons génétiques [...] 2, record 3, French, - auto%2Dincompatibilit%C3%A9

Jusqu'à présent l'eau du bassin était d'une excellente qualité, grâce à l'apport d'eau douce de la Leyre et aux marées renouvelant les masses d'eau marine deux fois par jour. Or depuis une dizaine d'années, la qualité des eaux ne cesse de se dégrader car la Leyre est de plus en plus polluée par les activités agricoles (maïsiculture sur le cours de la Leyre) et le renouvellement des eaux maritimes s'effectue moins bien à cause du comblement des passes. 2, record 5, French, - renouvellement%20de%20l%27eau%20par%20les%20mar%C3%A9es
